Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 15, 2016 by the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers, District 10, on behalf of
workers of HUSCO International, Off-Highway Division, Waukesha,
Wisconsin (HUSCO/Off-Highway). The subject worker group is
engaged in activities related to the production of custom
control systems and valves for large equipment and does not
include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in HUSCO/Off-Highway have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country a portion of the
production of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at HUSCO/Off-Highway.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of HUSCO/Off-Highway,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
custom control systems and valves for large equipment, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of HUSCO International, Off-Highway Division,
Waukesha, Wisconsin, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 14, 2015
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 4th day of November 2016.
